Chicken's Revenge
Hacking Freeway
February 17, 2010
short url:

Today in my Atari Hacks, Remakes, and Demakes class we talked about disassembling binaries and doing graphical hacks. These are the simplest kind of ROM hacks to do, as they only require changes to data in the disassembly, which is usually relatively easy to find and identify.

My in-class example involved hacking David Crane's Activision title Freeway. My simple hack involved replacing the cars and trucks with chickens, and the chickens with cars, effectively turning the tables in the game. A screenshot below, or you can download and run the ROM.

How many seconds was it until someone make a road-crossing joke?
